Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt lime there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was worst day of his life. His mind would not stop about what happened just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? He had let his whole team . His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach might kick him off the team.
As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked." what's wrong, son?"
Peter's feelings were written all over his face. "I lost the game. Peter replied."
Then he went into his roomanother word. Ten minutes later. Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.
"Look, Peter. I don't know what happened. Butit was, don't be too hard on yourself" "I lost the game. I failed my team. They'll probably never let me play again"" Soccer is about team work. You're not the only reason your team lost. you have a good team, you should support each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and from your mistakes. Peter didn't say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully.
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart. "Hey, guys." he said to his teammates. I'm really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue to together we're going to win the next one. "To his surprise and relief, his teammates allin agreement." Yeah," they said, "Don't worry about it.
It's never just one Person's fault. We should think aboutwe can do better next time. Peter made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.
